I think my pet ate something that could be poisonous, but he/she seems fine. What should I do?

Don’t panic, but call us right away. If your pet is not showing any adverse symptoms, you can also call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435. You will be charged a consultation fee. If there is a known ingestion of a product please keep the packing on hand and bring it with you. Please do NOT induce vomiting prior to speaking with a veterinarian as this is not safe in all situations.
